Sang

Famous quotes containing the word sang:

“in darkness and in hedges
I sang my sour tone
and all my love was howling
conspicuously alone.”
—William Dewitt Snodgrass (b. 1926)

“When cups went round at close of day
Is not that how good stories run?
The gods were sitting at the board
In their great house at Slievenamon.
They sang a drowsy song, or snored,
For all were full of wine and meat.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Nearing again the legendary isle
Where sirens sang and mariners were skinned,
We wonder now what was there to beguile
That such stout fellows left their bones behind.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
